RE: cloudstack reset VM password files

Thank you René,
I will take it from here and test it. Some documentation will be on the way as well.
Best regards,
Jordan

Subject: Re: cloudstack reset VM password files
Hi
Nowadays the cloud-init [1] project supports cloudstack out of the box and we switched our templates to only use cloud-init.
Unfortunately the docs regarding cloudstack is not that great (it is on my list to give back my finding). There are some great docs here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init.
Our config under config dir /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/ has two files
- 80_root.cfg
- 99_cloudstack.cfg
80_root.cfg contents is...
system_info:
default_user:
name: root
disable_root: 0
ssh_pwauth: 1
...and 99_cloudstack.cfg looks like...
datasource:
CloudStack: {}
None: {}
datasource_list:
- CloudStack
Note that cloud-init has a ton of great features beside the support of cloudstack.
Hope that helps
René
